What impulse results if the force acting on an object is described by the force-time graph shown? (Points : 3) 0.50 kgm/s 0.60 kgm/s 1.3 kgm/s 2.1 kgm/s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of the following is the law of conservation of momentum? (Points : 3) The impulse acting on any object is the change in momentum that it causes. When two objects interact within a closed system, neither one changes its momentum. In the absence of any external force, the total momentum of a system stays the same. The acceleration of any object is equal to the net force acting on it divided by its mass.

OpenStudy (surry99):

you will need to sketch the graph or post a photo of it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i got it if you wanna check the answer ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got a

OpenStudy (surry99):

I am getting a different answer. How did you get .50kgm/s?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well i divide the force by the time

OpenStudy (surry99):

Impulse = Force * change in time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so what would i do to get the correct answer? what is it?

OpenStudy (surry99):

You would be multiplying force x change in time ...not dividing them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is it?

OpenStudy (surry99):

What is the force indicated by the graph? and how long does it act for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8.0?

OpenStudy (surry99):

It is the same as the area under the curve...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what im lost

OpenStudy (surry99):

ok...the graph is almost a rectangle agreed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (surry99):

ok...what is the height in Newton? and what is the width in seconds? you are calculating the area just like you would fro any rectangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 & 0.7?

OpenStudy (surry99):

I think it is about 2.5 Newtons high and (.7 -.2 ) seconds wide So the area is....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.55?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help im sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.1?

OpenStudy (surry99):

no problem...height x width = 2.5 x .5 = 1.25...the closest answer is 1.3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ugh thats was hard next ?

OpenStudy (surry99):

If you do a search on conservation of linear momentum, you should be able to find the answer

OpenStudy (surry99):

Gotta run...sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay when will you be back?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of these leads to the conclusion that linear momentum is conserved?
